For some years, theeShop opened up to many more genres than in the past, with titles offering themes and concepts that we weren’t really used to finding in a manufacturer as family-friendly as Nintendo. But the latter obviously wants to return to the old model, since he would be changing his policy vis-à-vis Switch games representing frontal nudity, available in the virtual store of the console.
Nintendo no longer wants topless
As Eurogamer points out, the publisher gamuzumiwhich specializes in publishing erotic games, took to Twitter to announce that its latest game, Hot Tentacles Shoot (no need to see an image to become what the title is about), will ultimately not be available on the Switch eShop, even though previous Gamuzumi games are.
The cause, a change in rules for the eShop which indicates that from now on, games featuring uncensored bare breasts will no longer be allowed on the platform.
” to summarize [la réponse de Nintendo], obscene content could harm the brand and violate its policies. This means that now all games with bare breasts should be censored and that’s why our game (Hot Tentacles Shoot) got rejected in the first place. »
It is now unknown whether games of this genre that are already available on the eShop will be censored or not as a result of this new policy. As a reminder, Nintendo is not the only one to censor this kind of content, since Sony has also chosen to avoid publishing games with nudity. And if you’re ever wondering, it’s apparently not because of this change that Bayonetta 3 will be entitled to an optional censored mode.
